[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8416347, member: 23751"] What module has worshippers of Yeenoghu casting spells? It's not in the MM under gnolls(despite 3 kinds of gnolls), it's not in Volo's(despite 4 kinds of gnolls), and it's not in Mordenkainen's under Yeenoghu. It does mention a cult in Mordenkainen's, but you can be a cultist and not be able to cast spells. This has been a long thread, so where in 5e are there explicit spellcasting followers of Yeenoghu that use the cleric list? Because diseases are a very large part of medieval life, as is death. If he has a small following, he's probably a lesser god. Because they don't believe in him(in a religious sense). Fear =/= being a true believer. Indoctrination only takes people so far. They don't stop being human(or elven, or halfling...) just because someone has been terrorizing them for a long time. And then there are the multiple times during that period that Iuz has had his ass handed to him and lost control, been imprisoned, or been killed by a lich. It's hard to be viewed as this huge, big bad being when you lose so much. The Sword Coast uses the same format as the PHB and doesn't include deity power level. However, since the PHB default is the Realms, The Sword Coast is directly applicable. From the list in The Sword Coast the demigods are... Gwaeron Windstrom Hoar Jergal The Red Knight Savras and Valkur There's 6 demigods listed on the god list. Now perhaps all of them got promotions, but nothing exists(outside of maybe a 5e adventure path) to indicate that they, Iuz or Yeenoghu are different. [/QUOTE]
